11 Couples Halloween Costume Ideas To Try This Year

Most days of the year, showing up to a party in matching outfits with your significant other would be a little much, but Halloween makes it completely acceptable to go matchy-matchy. Need a little inspiration to make the most of your once-a-year opportunity to shamelessly coordinate? We've got you covered with these famous fictional couples and the essentials for pulling their looks off with style.

Betty & Jughead

Nobody's more appropriate for sleuthing around a night of murder and mystery than Riverdale's favorite (and most trouble-prone) high school sweethearts.

Shop The Look: Betty

A pink cardigan with delicate crystals details? Even Mrs. Cooper would approve.

If you love to dress up and your man really doesn't, we suggest spending Halloween as the starring couple from Breakfast at Tiffany's. You can go as far out as you want with any of Holly's classic looks (seriously, practically everything she wore in this film is iconic) while all your Paul needs is a good gray suit.

Shop The Look: Holly

There are very few days of the year you can get away with wearing a tiara, might as well embrace it for Holly's signature film-opening look. Just add croissant.

Why dress as a fairytale couple when you could emulate a real life fairytale instead? The prince and his actress-turned-Duchess bride gave use a reason to believe in romance this year, and if that's not a good reason to inspire your costume dedication, the fact that they also make a stylishly simple costume solution for those last minute Halloween party invites.

Shop The Look: Meghan

Really any look from Meghan's astoundingly stylish catalogue would work, but we particularly love the Stella McCartney dress she sported to the royal wedding reception.

Even those not inclined to musical theater have a soft spot for the star couple of Grease. Slip into your best '50s duds—may we recommend the iconic all-black outfits from the movie's finale?—and brush up on that soundtrack, because these costumes will have you humming "You're the One That I Want" all night long.

Shop The Look: Sandy

Pair this simple, black off-the-shoulder top with a pair of sleek black pants and heels for a picture perfect Sandy.

If there's such a thing as sci-fi couple royalty, these two are the king and queen (well, Princess-General, but you get the idea.) Side-buns, gold bikini, frozen in carbonite, middle-aged - no matter what versions of this duo you're drawn to, you can't go wrong.

If you and your SO are up for a little more effort, we strongly suggest practicing your lifts before showing up to a party as these Dirty Dancing stars. After all, how else are you going to have the time of your life?

Shop The Look: Baby

This modern version of Baby's tie-front crop top guarantees nobody will put you in a corner (sorry not sorry.)

You know those ice breaker questions people ask at dinner parties—what would you choose for your last meal, what book would you want on a desert island, etc.? This duo-costume is the Halloween party version of that. Too incesty? Just incesty enough? Whether people love it or want to leave it, everyone will have an opinion on this controversial Game of Thrones couple.

After news broke the the Game of Thrones costumers have been using Ikea rugs for the Stark cloaks for seasons, the home decor brand released instructions on how to make your own (it's much easier than putting together one of their bookcases.)
